Blinc Lash Tubing Mascara: Why I Loved It Years Before Everyone Else Did.


Years ago, I discovered two beauty products I simply had to have: Blinc’s heated lash curler and their revolutionary Lash Tubing Mascara. I loved the mascara so much, I kept it just for myself — instead of adding it to my bridal makeup kit. Little did I know, this product would quietly revolutionize the mascara world years before the rest of the industry caught on.



My First Encounter With Blinc The First Ever Tubing Mascara.


Back in the early 2010s, Blinc launched something truly unique:

  • The first heated lash curler, perfect for creating a long-lasting curl without damaging delicate lashes

  • The tubing mascara, which coated lashes in tiny “tubes” that resist smudging and flaking

At the time, the mascara cost around £15, and I was hooked. It separated and lengthened lashes like nothing else I’d tried. But for some reason — maybe the cost, maybe the convenience of picking up a mascara at the supermarket near my home — I didn’t repurchase it.

Over the years, it faded from my daily routine… until recently.

The Tubing Mascara Trend Takes Off


Suddenly, tubing mascaras were everywhere, trending on social media as if they were something completely new. But here’s the thing: they’ve been around for years. I had discovered their magic a decade ago.

As a professional makeup artist specialising in Wedding Makeup, it’s exciting to see the beauty industry finally catching up. These mascaras are perfect for brides, photoshoots, and anyone who wants long-lasting, smudge-proof lashes.

Why I Still Recommend Tubing Mascara Today


Tubing mascara works differently from regular formulas:


  • It coats each lash in a flexible tube, giving length and definition

  • It’s smudge-proof and waterproof, perfect for weddings or long days

  • It removes easily with warm water, reducing lash damage


For brides, this is a game-changer. Your makeup stays flawless through emotional vows, celebrations, and photos.


Who Should Choose Tubing Mascara?

  • Sensitive eyes

  • Mature skin

  • Oily lids

  • Hooded Eyes

  • Emotional brides
